Thousands are expected to descend on Rhyl’s promenade to see an array of spectacular displays of military and commercial aircraft, static displays, trade stands and food stalls as well as an events arena in the nearby Seaquarium.

Now in its eighth year, the free-to-attend event is designed to appeal to family audiences during the busy summer period, as well as aviation enthusiasts and has attracted an audience of more than 300,000 over the past two years, making the event one of the biggest and best attended in North Wales.

With ground attractions opening at 12pm on both days and viewing points stretching right along the sea front, the air displays include demonstrations from the RAF Red Arrows and Falcons Parachute Display Teams.

If you are heading out to the festival here is a run-down of everything you need to know ahead of the event.

Parking

Map for the venue and attractions around this year's Rhyl Airshow.

There are plenty of parking options in and around the venue with the closest being the Promenade's West and East Parade, near to the Pavilion Theatre but there are also plenty of options slightly further out to avoid the crowds.
